Replacement 360 game cases?

Anyone know where I can find the green 360 cases? I'm having a hell of a time tracking any down online.

I have one case that is cracked and a few others I might as well replace at the same time. I thought these would be easy to find but apparently not.

i have a bunch



my friend works at a game store. Often, when pre-orders actually hit the shelves, they have a ton of extra cases left over


also, when blockbuster gets their shipment of new games to put on the shelves, they throw out their original cases (extremely dumb for resale, I know). My wife's friend works there and hooks me up as well

and yet they still feel the need to open the new copies to put on the shelf instead.

If you are only in need of one or two, you can pre-order games at Best Buy and get a case for $5 each. If you don't want the game when it comes out, just take your receipt in and get your five bones back.

You have display cases at your Best Buy for pre-orders? We just have small, laminate forms with art, UPCs, and release dates on them.

As for the cases, you can get 54 of them for $19.95CA here - http://blankmedia.ca/proddetail3.asp?id=1193

Don't think you want that many, though

No, don't need 54 but that's definitely a step in the right direction.

I cannot believe these aren't easier to find. My copy of Crackdown came in a case with a broken spindle. It would be nice if MS made it easier to replace them.

Yep. Not every pre-order, but the big ones. They are all official cases as well. The only one that was different was GHII which was in a solid green case like the "Grinch" DVD, not the translucent 360 style.

They may have changed for all I know. Last game I pre-ordered was the Gamecube Twilight Princess. Long before it was announced for the Revolution

Yep. That's probably it. All the 360 launch titles were on cards as well. It wasn't until around Gears launch that they switched. They've done Gears, Lost Planet, Crackdown, GHII, FEAR, and many others.
